High blood sugar and inflammation are closely linked, each fueling the other. Morning habits, like eating breakfast early, may reduce blood sugar and calm inflammation.Other morning strategies include eating yogurt, drinking green tea and taking a brisk walk. Managing blood sugar and keeping inflammation in check can be challenging, especially if you’re living with diabetes. These two issues are closely linked. Ongoing inflammation can make blood glucose harder to manage, while high blood glucose levels can drive more inflammation, creating a cycle that’s tough to break., Fortunately, making a few strategic choices in the morning might help nudge things in the…
It’s no secret screen time has soared during the pandemic1. Especially for those able to work from home, you might oscillate from virtual meetings to online happy hours to a feel-good TV series on Netflix. And repeat. With all this skyrocketed screen time, the thought might have crossed your mind once or twice: Should I invest in a pair of blue-light-blocking glasses? These lenses, meant to filter out the blue light in your surroundings, are practically exploding in popularity as we continue to bombard our retinas with LED-backlit screens—you can snag a pair for anywhere from $12 to $95.

Jonna Kuntsi, professor of developmental disorders and neuropsychiatrySocial, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College LondonRecognising that ADHD exists on a continuum could help reduce misunderstanding and improve interventions, writes Jonna KuntsiThe debate around attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in the media and the clinical-scientific world, has recently reached new heights. This is partly due to many countries seeing a high increase in the number of people seeking ADHD assessment and diagnosis.1 One aspect of the discourse that is leading to confusion and misunderstanding is the lack of awareness that ADHD exists on a continuum.…
University of Oregon (UO) researchers have tested a new combination drug therapy that experimental results suggest could dismantle the difficult-to-treat bacteria inhabiting chronic wound infections. The findings could help lead to the development of more effective antimicrobial treatments that promote healing in chronic wounds. Such treatments might also help to reduce the risk of severe infections, such as diabetic foot ulcers, that may lead to amputations. The approach pairs long-known drugs that do little on their own against the hard-to-treat bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa festering in chronic wounds. Headed by Melanie Spero, PhD, an assistant professor of biology in the UO’s…
Aging doesn’t just come with wisdom—it often brings inflammation too. This chronic, low-grade inflammatory state, cleverly dubbed “inflammaging,” is a major driver of age-related diseases, including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, neurodegeneration, and even cancer.
Credit: Steinack & Gaisl / ERS A cutting-edge bronchoscopy technique, guided by a robotic arm and a specialized cone-beam CT (CBCT) scanner, outperforms traditional diagnostic methods when it comes to small, hard-to-reach tumors found in the periphery of the lungs. These findings from an ongoing clinical trial at University Hospital Zürich were presented on Sunday at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress. “Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with CBCT achieved a diagnostic yield more than three times higher than conventional bronchoscopy,” said Carolin Steinack, MD, senior physician and head of the Interventional Lung Center at University Hospital Zürich. “In clinical practice, this technology…
Skipping breakfast might sound like a harmless time-saver, but science is here to serve a wake-up call. Research found that skipping your morning meal could do more than make you a little hangry—it may actually disrupt your cortisol rhythm and elevate blood pressure.
For large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, accuracy often means complexity. To be able to make good predictions, ChatGPT must deeply understand the concepts and features that are associated with each word—but how it gets to this point is typically a black box. Similarly, protein language models (PLMs), which are LLMs used by protein scientists, are dense with information. Scientists often have a hard time understanding how these models solve problems, and as a result, they struggle to judge the reliability of the models’ predictions. Bonnie Berger is a mathematician and computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She’s…
